Description

PERSONAL DEVICE SECURING SYSTEM FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention is concerned with a fastening system for safeguarding personal devices and articles. The invention is described with reference to its use with mobile phones. However, it should be appreciated that the fastening system can be used to safeguard a variety of items such as keys, security cards, cameras, portable video recorders, electronic organizers or personal digital assistants (PDA), global positioning systems (GPS). ) and similar items.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Mobile phones are expensive products that have become an essential business tool and a common medium for personal communication. Thus, they are transported with a user when they travel from one place to another. A way in which a mobile phone is transported is within the pocket of a user. To use the phone, the user must retrieve the phone from his / her pocket, which can be annoying and relatively insecure. The mobile phone can be accidentally evicted from your pocket. This can cause the mobile phone to be lost and / or damaged. In addition, thieves can easily steal the mobile phone. Another popular way in which a mobile phone is carried is through the use of a belt clip. The belt clip is commonly attached directly to a mobile phone or attached to a box that covers the mobile phone. Then the fastener belt is fastened to a user's belt. Again the mobile phone is easily accessible, but it is bulky and provides only limited movement of the. phone when it is attached to the user. A typical known belt fastener with the attached telephone is frequently uncomfortable since limited movement can cause the mobile telephone to bury the user's leg and / or the telephone is inadvertently released due to the user's movement. Such known fasteners that are attached directly behind the telephone result in projecting the telephone away from the user. Such an arrangement leads to the telephone that is most exposed for possible damage when hitting objects when it is used. Yet another popular method for carrying a mobile phone is to carry it in a bag such as a handbag or sack. This increases the security of the mobile phone but reduces its accessibility. The mobile phone may sound while it is in the bag, and still a user will reach through the bag to locate the mobile phone. Frequently phone calls are lost due to the time a person takes to locate the mobile phone. Recent trends in mobile phones have led to an increase in "SMS text messages" or visual type messages that are displayed do not require audio communication. Thus, it is not necessary to always place the telephone adjacent to the user's head to communicate. The aforementioned prior art *** requires that a user remove the phone either from a pocket or release the phone from a saved site to view the keyboard or screen. This is inconvenient and increases the risk of dropping or losing the phone.

OBJECT OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the invention to overcome and / or alleviate the above disadvantages or to provide the consumer with a choice or commercial.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE REFERED MODE Bra without quick release mechanism Figures 1A to II show a first embodiment of a fastener (300). A recess in the form of a channel (310) extends through part of the body (301) to form a capture zone (311). The capture zone is (311) is defined by a first opening (310a), for example upper entrance and a second opening (310b), for example bottom exit, respectively lockable is by the first gate (320), shown as an inlet gate and a second gate (330) shown as an exit gate. The entry gate is shown as a squeeze plate (320) located adjacent to the opening (310a) of the channel (310) and the second gate (330) is shown as an output pin located adjacent to the second opening (310b) . The squeeze plate (320) is located within a tapered location channel (340) and is shown to the body (301) via a first screw (321). The locating channel (340) is / tapered, so that it tapers towards the opening (310a). An element of annexation is shown as a. Attachment fastener (350) attached to the body (301) using first and second screws (321,322) locatable in threaded holes (321a, 322a). The attachment bolt (350) can be fastened to the fastener (300) via any suitable fastener, for example a screw, rivet, weld, glue, etc. The output pin (330) is urged by a spring (331) to close the lower opening (310b) of the channel (310). A bolt (366) is attachable to the output bolt (330) to retain and prevent the bearing of the output bolt (330) inside the hollow chamber (367) and the bolt (366) is brought into contact with the spring (331). ) as shown in the modalities of figures 1E and 1G the output pin (330) can be depressed to cause an arched opening (332) located within the outlet pin (330) to align with the opening (310b). Opening the channel (310) as shown in Figure 1G. A capture element, shown as a plug (400) is captured within the capture zone (311) as shown in figure ID. The term "caught" used herein is retained to retain or secure a capture element within the capture zone. When a gate is closed by blocking an opening in the capture zone, a capture element is captured within the capture zone. - To allow the cap (400) to be captured, the plug (400) is pressed against the squeeze plate (320). This causes the squeeze plate (320) to be depressed and opens the upper end or opening of the channel (310) the plug (400) is then moved towards the opening (310a) of the channel (310) with the locating channel (340) which provides a guide for the plug (400). Once a head (401) of the plug (400) has passed into the channel (310), the squeeze plate (320) moves back to its starting position preventing the head of the plug (400) from being removed by closing this gate. A stem (402) of the plug (400) extends through the channel. (310). When the plug (400) is to be removed from the capture zone (310), the outlet pin (330) is pressed to open the outlet gate (330) and the stopper (440) is slid out of the channel (310) as it is shown in figure 1F. The above described aspects of the fastener (300) allow the passage of the plug (400) in a single direction to attach and free the plug (400) to the fastener (300). The figures show the only address as below that provides an easy convenient means to attach and release the phone. The downward release of the plug and the attached telephone is aided by gravity, however, it will be appreciated that an alternative embodiment of the invention includes gates that allow the capture element (s) to enter and leave the capture in the upper and lower openings of the same. For example, a gate such as the exit gate (330) or gate (830) shown in the figures (19a-19F) can be used in either or both openings (310a, 310b) a channel length (310) It can be of any appropriate length. In one embodiment, the channel (310) can accumulate several plugs (400) in another mode, the channel (310) is essentially of a length long enough to hold a plug (400) in such a way that there is little if there is slippage of the plug (400) within the capture zone (311). although the channel (310) is shown as linear the channel (310) can also be curved, sawtooth or otherwise formed. The plug (400) may include demonstrated modes such as the plug (402) and the figures 8a and 8B and the plug (700) shown in figures 8C-8H. The fastener aspects (300) also result in the telephone (10) being able to hang substantially below the fastener (300) as shown for example in Figures 1H, 1I, 6C and 6F. It will be appreciated that this arrangement minimizes an internal profile of the phone when it is attached to the fastener. The fastener allows the phone to hang less partially under the fastener in such a way that the width of the fastener does not significantly add to the profile extending outwardly, which is the cause of the typical mobile phone fasteners attached to it. back side of the phone. This arrangement also reduces the likelihood that the phone will be damaged by accidentally hitting objects. This can be added to the community of the user who uses the bra and the telephone. The fastener (300) can be hooked onto a fastener (12) via the attachment fastener (350) as shown in Figures 1H and II. The fastener (600) can be used to secure something of the plug (400) can be attached to such as a retractor or mobile phone (10) as shown in Figures 1H and II.

Fastener with fast single bolt deliberation mechanism Figures 1J to 10 show another embodiment of a fastener (302) comprising an appropriate adjustable opening for securing a bolt of an attachment element in a "fast fun" manner as described in the present. The operation of the fastener (302) to capture a capture element is the same as described above. "Two plates (360) and (361) are mounted to the back of the fastener (302) .The plate (360) is fixed the plate ('361) is mounted for reciprocating movement and propelled towards the plate (360) by means of a coil spring (370) Arched openings (362, 363) are located on each plate forming an adjustable opening. ) is part of the plate (361) and is accessible from one side of the fastener (302) A back cover plate (380) forms the upper part of the fastener (302) .The holes (381) and (382) are used to place screws (not shown) for attaching the cover plate (380) to the body in the threaded holes (321a, 322a) the hole (383) is used for the placement of a bolt (390) shown in Figure 1K. Bolt (390) has a head (392) and a tree (392) A channel (393) is located on the tree bol (392). The bolt (390) is used to attach a fastener (302) to an object such as a garment or belt. The bolt (390) is connected to the fastener (302) by passing the shaft (392) through the hole (383). The end of the shaft (392) engages the arched openings (362, 363) and urges the plate (361) away from the plate (360). Then the plates (360, 361) are coupled with the channel (393) to grip the bolt (390). The bolt (390) can be removed by moving the knobs (364) upward causing the plate (361) to be removed from the plate (360) as shown in Figure 10. This causes the arched openings (362, 363) release the channel (392) allowing the pin (390) to be removed.

The fastener may have a number of different means of attaching an object, such means include attachment elements described above and shown in Figures 1P-1S. Figure 1P shows an embodiment of an attachment element having an adhesive strip (305) attached to its back so that the fastener (302) can be attached to an appropriate flat surface such as a wall. A removable protective cover (305a) covers the adhesive strip (305) before use. Figure 1Q shows one embodiment of an attachment element as an attachment fastener (350) attached to the fastener (302). The attachment fastener (350) comprises a bolt (not shown) similar to that shown in Figures 4G and 4H. Figure IR illustrates the insertion of an attachment element, shown as the pin (390), to the fastener (302). This is also shown in Figure 1K. Figure 1S shows an attachment element such as a press (307) attached to the body (301) of the fastener (302). The clip (307) can be placed on a belt, such that the fastener (307) can not be accidentally removed providing additional security. These annexation elements or similar variations thereof may be used in other embodiments of the fastener.

Bra with quick release mechanism for two bolts / Figures 2A-3D show another embodiment of a fastener (600). The operation of the fastener (600) to capture a capture element is exceptionally the same as that described above for the other forms of the fastener. That is, a capture element can be placed and captured within a capture zone (311) and two gates that operate independently are located adjacent to opposite openings (310a, 310b) of the capture zone (311). A first gate is shown as an entrance gate in the form of a squeeze plate (612) and a second gate is shown as an output gate as an output pin (330). The fastener (600) may also comprise a locating channel (340) tapering towards the capture input of an area for directing the capture element (s) toward the aperture (310a) of the capture zone ( 311) in a similar way as the other forms of the fastener. The fastener (600) differs in the previous forms by being adapted to secure an attachment element by two bolts using a "quick release" mechanism as described hereinabove. Also the exit bolt (330) of the fastener ( 600) is driven by a spring (306) located at one end of the output pin (330) that is inserted into the hollow chamber (367). The outlet pin (330) t is retained within the hollow chamber (367) by the bolt (366) which is attached to the outlet pin (330) and extends to the oval opening (304) as shown. A back cover plate (611) is also modified as described. The capture zone (311) may further comprise an insert or liner (311a), for example as shown in Figure 3D. The lining is essentially a tube with a continuous longitudinal slit cut of a tube wall. The slit allows the passage of a portion of the neck of a plug when the plug is located in the lining of the capture zone. The liner can increase the durability of the channel since the liner can be made of any suitable material, which can differ from the body of the fastener. For example, the lining can be made of stainless steel, a material that reduces the flict and wear caused by the capturing element moving within the capture zone, a material the same as that of the capture zone or any other material appropriate. The liner can be used with any of the bra modalities as described herein. As seen in Figures 2A and 2B, the fastener (600) comprises a body (601) and two plates (602, 603) mounted to a rear part of the body (601). The body (601) has holes. threaded (617, 618, 619) to attach a back cover plate (611), threaded holes (620, 3) 621) for attaching an attachment element using screws and holes (608a, 609a) to attach bolts of an attachment element as described in more detail later herein. An oval-shaped opening (304) connects to the hollow chamber (367) such that the bolt (366) can be located within the opening (304) when it is attached to the output bolt (300). A recess (665) is suitable for retaining the spring (610) as shown. The detents (666) limit the inward movement of the plates (602, 603). Each plate (602, 603) comprises an arched edge and a pair of hook elements extending therefrom. The plate (602) has hook elements (604, 605) and the plate (603) has hook elements (606, 607) each plate (602, 603) is slidably mounted relative to the rear part of the body (601) of the fastener (600) and is urged against each other by the coil spring (610). The joists (602A, 603A) shown in Figure 3D are projected from respective plates (602 603) are incertable to the recess (665) shown in Figure 2G. The joists (602A 603A) stop the outward movement of the respective plates (602, 603). The detents (666) limit the forward movement of the plates (602, 603). The respective adjustable openings (608, 609) are formed by respective hook elements (604.606) and (605 607) as will be discussed in more detail below. The present respective adjustable openings (608, 609) are suitable for repeatedly receiving and retaining a fastener, such as a "quick release" bolt and selection of an attachment element. As shown in Figures 3A-3C, a back coated plate (611) is attachable to the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600) by means of screws (660, 661 662) as shown in Figure 3D. A squeeze plate (612) is contiguous with the back plate (613) and is locatable within the location channel (340). The back plate (613) comprises holes (614, 615, 616) used to show screws shown (in Figure 3D) to attach the back coated plate (611) to the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600). The threaded holes (617, 618, 619) located in the upper part of the body (601) of the fastener (600) shown in Figures 2A 2B and 2C 'are aligned with respective holes (614, 615, 616) of the back plate (613) thereby allowing access to the attachment screws (660, 661, 662) shown in Figure 3D to attach the back cover plate (611) to the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600). The holes / (620a 6201a) of the back coated plate (611) are used to locate screws for / mounting an attachment element, for example an annular attachment element (624) shown in Figure 4A, 4B to the rear part of the body 601) of the fastener (600) via respective screws threaded into threaded holes (620, 621) . The attachment elements described herein for "quick release" and attachment to the fastener (600) can also be attached to the fastener (600) using screws. Alternatively or in addition, the attachment elements can be attached to the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600) via securing bolts. The securing bolts may be conical or rounded as described hereinabove. The holes (625 626) of the back coated plate (611) are used to locate respective conical bolts (627, 628) and rounded bolts (629, 630) which are respectively attached to the plate anchoring element (635) the element of attachment of plate (633), attachment element of fastener (634) and hook attachment element (680) shown in figures 4A-4N. The respective attachment elements (624, 633 634, 635, 680) attached to the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600) using securing bolts must be attached quickly and easily and released this is separated in a "release" manner "as described in the present. Annexation element modalities (624, 633, 634, 635, 680) appropriate for use with the previous modality of the / fastener (600) are similar to those described with the embodiment of the fastener (302). However, a suitable difference is a pair of bolts that are separable in a separable manner to respective adjustable openings (608, 609). It will be appreciated that the attachment elements comprising two or more bolts have an advantage with respect to a single bolt between two or more bolts preventing the notation of the fastener relationship element and also providing a stronger attachment. As mentioned above, a bolt can have a pointed or conical head as it is. mentioned in Figure 4D for a plate attaching element (635) or a rounded head as shown in Figures 4E 4F for the plate attaching element (633), Figures 4G-4I for the fastener attaching element ( 634) and figures 4J-4N for the hook attachment element (680). The bolts (627, 628) are shown in figures 4C 4D appended to a base or oval plate, each bolt comprising a conical head (636) and a respective shaft (637). The channels (638, 639) are located on each shaft (637) as shown to allow fastening of the bolt to the fastener (600) adjustable openings (608 609) by engagement either within the channel (638, 639) depending on the thickness of the material through which the bolt is passed. The conical bolts (627, 628) of the plate anchoring element (635) are used to attach the fastener (600) still object such as a garment, backpack, belt or similar item. The conical bolts (627, 628) can be inserted through a garment for sandwiching the garment of the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600) and the plate attaching element (635). The conical bolts (627, 628) are attached to the fastener (600) by passing the respective heads (636) and shafts (637) through respective holes (625, 626) of the attached back plate (611), to openings respective adjustables (608, 609) and respective holes (608a, 609a) of the back of the body (601) of the fastener (600) the respective heads (636) of each bolt (627, 628) are received by and coupled with respective adjustable openings (608, 609) and propel each plate (603, 602) far between if opening for this each adjustable opening (608, 609). Figures 2A 2B show adjustable openings (608, 609) formed by a respective pair of hook elements (604, 606) and a pair of hook elements (605, 607) Figure 2a show adjustable openings (608, 609) in an open position and figure 2B shows openings (608 609) in a closed position. As the plates (602 603) are driven by the spring (610), the hook elements (604, 600) and the hook elements (605, 607) are also driven, such that the adjustable openings (608). , 609) are in an appropriate closed position to engage with the channels (638 or 639) to grip or secure each bolt (627, 628) within the bolt channel. The bolts (627, 628) can be removed by applying a force on the arched ends of the plate (602, 603) toward the center of the fastener (600) against the driven coil spring (610). In doing so, each of the adjustable openings (608, 609) are enlarged or opened see Fig. 2a), thereby releasing the respective channels (638, 639) of the respective bolts, thereby enabling the release of the respective bolts. In a referred embodiment shown, a force must be applied simultaneously on the arched ends of the plates (602, 603) towards the center of the fastener (600) to release them bolts. This prevents the inadvertent release of the bolts and only one of the two arched ends of the plates is depressed, for example by accidental contact with an object. The respective rounded bolts (629, 630) shown in Figures 4E and 4F for the plate attaching element (633) and the respective rounded bolts (629, 630) shown in Figures 4G-4I for the attachment element (634). ) are similar to the conical bolts shown in Figures 4C 4D, however, the heads are rounded.

Each rounded bolt (629, 630) comprises a head (640) and shaft (641) having a channel (642). The item numbers shown for the rounded bolt (629) refer to similar structures for the rounded bolt (630) that are not numbered. A similar action as described above for the conical bolts (627, 628) is used to insert and remove the rounded bolts (629, 630) of the fastener (600). A rounded head (640) may be desirable when an attachment element (633, 634) is not yet attached fabric article or piece of fabric; A. Conical bolt can help to pass the bolt through the cloth. A rounded head can avoid undesirable sharp contact with an object or a user's skin that can be inadvertently damaged or scraped. The plate attaching element (633) shown in Figure 41 4F can be used to secure the fastener (600) to a surface such as a car dashboard or surface of a desk or wall. In this form, the attachment element can be attached to the instrument panel by applying an adhesive to the back surface (643). Useful adhesives include lists, adhesive tapes and an adhesive strip. The attachment element of the fastener (634) shown in Figures 4G-4I comprises a plate (644) that forms a fastener that can be used to secure the fastener (600) yet pocket belt or other object. The attachment element of the fastener (634) is shown as an adjoining U-shaped plate (644). However, it will be appreciated that the attachment element of the fastener 634 may have other appropriate configurations, for example the plate 644 may be driven by the spring and may consist of a single or multiple parts hinged together. The plate (644) has a retaining element (631) as shown to assist in securing the fastener selection element (634) to the article. For example, a belt may be located within a space (634) of the attachment element (634). The attachment element of the fastener (634) in another embodiment may not comprise the retaining element (631). The ring choice element (624) shown in Figures 4a and 4B comprises a clip (645) which can be used to secure the fastener yet another belt. The loop attachment element (624) has holes (646, 647) for attaching screws (622, 623) to attach the loop attachment element (624) to the fastener. The ring attachment element may also comprise rounded pins similar to the bolts (629, 630) for attaching to the fastener in a "quick release" manner as described herein, not shown. Thus, the ring attachment element (624) can be secured to the fastener by screws and / or bolts. The other attachment elements can also be attached to the fastener via screws and / or bolts. The hook attachment element (680) is shown in Figure 4J-4N which comprises a body (681) and a hook end (682). The body (681) comprises two rounded bolts (683), however another appropriate number of bolts can be used and the bolts need not necessarily be rounded, for example they can be conical as described herein. The hook attachment element (680) is attached to a back part of the fastener (600) in a similar manner as the attachment elements shown in Figures 4C-4I that is, the pins (683) are insertable and detachably detachable in the adjustable securing openings (608, 609) of the fastener (600). In the embodiment of the hook attachment element (680) shown in Figures 4J-4L an opening (684) allows the location of a hook attachment element (680) on a belt loop, ring, handbag or another article There is no need to close the opening (684) with a gate that is commonly associated with a standard carbine, shown for example in Figures 17A-18C. Instead of this when the hook attachment element (680) is attached to the back of the fastener (600) the fastener (600) covers the opening (684) as shown more clearly in Figure 4. In this way, the fastener (600) will remain secure to the article that is attached in a secure manner. When the fastener (600) is to be removed from the article, the plates (602, 603) are pressed inward to open the adjustable securing openings (608, 609) thereby releasing the bolts (683) thereof. When the hook attachment element (680) is released from the back side of the fastener (600), the opening (684) is exposed, so that the article is released from the hook attachment element (680). Although a preferred embodiment is shown in Figures J 4N for the hook attachment element (680), other embodiments are contemplated. For example, although a gate is not shown it will be appreciated that a driven or non-driven gate can likewise be attached to the back side of the fastener (600). Such a mode can be likened to a more typical carbine by driving means to close the door to thereby secure the fastener (600) still article. Appropriate types of carbines include those shown in Figures 18A-18C. The hook attachment element (680) also allows the movement of the fastener (600) for example when it is attached through a belt loop. When the bra is still attached phone, the phone can be 4 moved and placed by the user when moving the bra. This additional movement may also allow the user to easily observe a telephone screen without separating the telephone from the holder. This has advantages as described above for observing SMS text messages and the like. It will be appreciated that the aforementioned attachment elements can be mentioned easily and quickly due to the use of the bolts and "quick release" fastening mechanism of the fastener. Each item of choice when secured to the fastener is attached firmly to it. Thus, the 'unintentional separation of the attachment element is avoided or is unlikely even when rubbed against objects such as tables, walls and shrubs. Also, each annexing element must have any attached form, for example, round, square, rectangular, etc. Although the figures show fasteners that include bolts and bolts, other fasteners may be used as selected by an experienced person. Other fasteners include bolts, rivets, welds and the like. One embodiment of the invention also includes an element of choice that is permanently affixed to the fastener and thus is not interchangeable. Also, although two bolts are shown for the fastener (600) any appropriate number of bolts can be used, a single bolt or any number greater than two bolts.

Fastener comprising capture zone with a single opening In another embodiment of the invention as shown in Figures 19A-19F wherein the fastener (800) comprises a body (801) the capture zone (811) shown as a recess in shape of a with the, the gate (830) shown as a pin and the location channel (840). A liner (not shown) can also be inserted into the capture zone (811) as described above for other forms of the invention. The capture zone (811) comprises an opening (812), for example an entry, which allows the capture element (s) to enter (n) and exit (n) from the capture zone (811). At one end of the bottom (813) the capture zone (811) is closed in such a way that a capture element 'may not leave the bottom end of the capture zone. The . gate (830) is located at the entrance to the capture zone and the gate is open to allow the capture element (s) to pass through the entrance to be located (s) in the capture zone (811) and withdrawn (s) from it. When the gate (830) is closed it (the) element. (s) of capture is (are) retained (s) within the capture zone (811) and thus captured (s) in it. The gate (830) is opened by moving the bolt to align the inlet (812) with the slit (831) as shown in Figure 19F. The gate is closed to move the bolt in such a way that the slit (831) no longer aligns with the entry (812) and instead the entry is blocked by the bolt as shown in Figure 19D. Figure 19E shows the transition of the door (830) from an open and closed position. The gate (830) is secured in an open or closed position by means of a retaining ball (834) that can be placed either in the slot (832) or the slot (833). The retaining ball (834) is driven by the spring (835) towards the bolt. It will be appreciated that the gate can have other shapes for example, the gate can be opened and closed by rotating a bolt comprising a slot, such that the slot is aligned with the open position entry and the bolt can be rotated, such that the slit no longer aligns with the entrance. The location channel (840) is tapered toward the entrance to the capture zone and can assist in directing the capture element (s) toward the entrance (812). A rear side of the fastener (800) is shown in Figure C having threaded holes (817, 818, 819) i for attaching a back coated plate (611) (not shown). The threaded holes (819 820) are for attaching screws for attaching an attachment element as described herein for other forms of the fastener. The back side of the fastener (800) may be the same as any other forms of the fastener (300, 302, 600) as described herein. That is, an attachment element is attachable to the back side by fasteners in which screws and / or bolts (s) are included via a quick release mechanism as described herein. It will be appreciated that fasteners comprising a similar back side configuration, eg same means for attaching an attachment element, allow for sharing and rapid change of the attachment elements to the respective fasteners. It will also be appreciated that the aforementioned fasteners allow the insertion and removal of a capture element from the capture zone using only one hand. This is an 'improvement over other fasteners. This shape of the fastener (809) can be useful when the fastener is attached to a wall, interior of a car or side of a desk.For example, a mobile phone attached to a capture element can be conveniently placed inside the capture area With the gate secured to an open position, gravity will tend to keep the telephone within the capture zone at a site adjacent to the closed bottom end of the capture zone (811) when the fastener is oriented with the entrance upwards. With the gate (830) secured in an open position, the telephone can be inserted and easily removed repeatedly from the capture area (811) The gate (830) can be closed by capturing the capture element and preventing the Inadvertent exit from the capture zone (811), this may not be required during repeated use of the telephone.

Capture Element / Retention Element Figures 5A to 5J show one embodiment of a capture element in the form of a plug (400) the cap (400) comprises a plug body (410) and connection bolt (420). The connecting bolt (420) is pivotally mounted to the body of the cap (410) and includes a head (421) and a rod (422) the connecting bolt (420) is attached to the body (410) by means of a bar retention (423) forming an articulated connection. The pivoted movement of the connecting bolt (420) in relation to the plug body (410) allows an object to which the plug is attached to be oriented in a desired manner. For example and as shown in Figure 5J, the body of the cap 410 is apt to extend downwardly with respect to the capture zone 311 in a counter position to extend outwardly if the connecting pin 420 is fixed to the plug body (410). Figures 4A to 7K show plugs that are directly attachable to the mobile phone (10) in figures 6A to 6F the plug (401) is attached to the telephone using an adhesive tab (430) the tab (430) is attached to the mobile phone (10) and a cylinder (440) positioned on the tongue (430). A clamp (450) is placed on the tongue (430) with the edges of the clamp (450) that are adhered to the tongue (430). A connecting bolt (460) is attached to the cylinder (440) using an associated threaded hole (441) in the cylinder (440) and threaded rod (461) of the connecting bolt (460). An upper plate (470) is placed on the connecting bolt (460) and on the clamp (450) to complete the assembly of the cap (401). An additional adhesive cover (471) can be placed on the back of the mobile phone to help protect the mobile phone (10) from any damage due to daily use. The plug (471) allows the mobile phone to move three-dimensionally, in such a way that the phone is able to move up and down and from side to side, in a universal movement, when it is placed in the bra. As shown in Figure 6C, the bolt and telephone attachment can be moved 180 degrees up and down and also rotate 360 degrees flat against the fastener as well as perpendicular to the fastener. Modalities are also contemplated where the articulated up and down movement is less than 180 degrees, for example 45 degrees, 90 degrees and 105 degrees. Such a mode may include a stop to stop sinking at less than 180 degrees and / or drive means, for example a spring, to return the pin (460) to a level or near-level position with a back side of a telephone. In addition, means similar to the plate can incrementally retain the pin (460) as a particular angle. Alternatively, the plug (401a) can be prefabricated as an articulated bolt with the base (472) and connecting bolt (460) as shown in figure 7a and 7B a lower side (473) of the base (472) can be adhered to the mobile phone. The connecting bolt (460) is movable as shown in arrow 7B. Then the mobile phone (10) can be attached to a bra (300 or 600). As in the embodiment shown in Figures 6A-6F in the cap shown in Figures 7A and 7B allows the pin and the attached telephone to be moved 180 degrees up or down or any angle between them and rotate 360 degrees when this placed in the catch area of a fastener as described herein.

The plug may also have other useful embodiments as shown in Figures 7C-7KP- Figures 7A 7B show a plug embodiment comprising a head (491), neck (492) and base (493) rigidly appended to each other. The neck length (492) can be any appropriate length and in one embodiment it can be relatively short (approximately 0.05 cms or less). A fixed angle of the connecting bolt (492) to the base (493) can be any suitable angle, for example 90 degrees as shown in figures 7C and 7D or 45 degrees or any other angle. The base 493 can be affixed to the back of a mobile phone. This plug does not articulate, but when attached to the clip as described herein, the phone can rotate flat against the clip 360 degrees. Figures 7E and 7F show a plug (650) comprising a body (654) and bolt (651) having a head (652) and a neck (653). The bolt (651) is rotatable 180 degrees or less around the pib point (655) of the body (654) as shown in the arrow of Figure 7E. When the plug (650) is attached to a telephone, the pin (651) is rotatable in a plane parallel to the back side of the telephone. When the bolt (651) is used to attach the telephone to the fastener or buckle of the invention, the bolt (651) is rotated towards the outside so that the bolt (651) extends further from the body (654) and commonly beyond one end of the telephone to which the plug (650) is attached. The bolt (651) can be rotated to a retracted position and secured in the slot (656). When it is not in use The plug (651) can also be driven and / or moved in the form of a ratchet, in such a way that the bolt (651) can be fixed at a desired angle in relation to the body (654). It will be appreciated that although the bolt (651) is shown rotatable 180 degrees, other angles of rotation are contemplated for other embodiments, for example plug modes that provide rotation of an angle between 0-360 degrees or freely rotatable about a fixed pivot point . Figure 7F shows a plan view of the cap (650) with the pin (651) in extended and retracted positions. In another embodiment, the plug (670) has a bayonet-like shape as shown in Figure 7G 71. - The plug (670) is extendable from a retracted position shown in Figure 7H to an extended position shown in Figure 71. When is extended, the pin (671) can be easily placed in the catch area of the fastener or retaining area of the buckle. The bolt (671) has a head (672) and a T-shaped end (673) the head (672) is incertable to the catch area of the fastener or buckle stop area. The T-shaped end (673) engages a slit (674) when the bolt (671) is extended outwardly to thereby secure the bolt as shown in a plan view partially in section of the body (672a) in the figure 71. The extended pin (671) in another embodiment is hinged to allow additional movement. Another plug (675) shown in Figure 13, and 7K comprise a flat plate (676), neck (677) and head (678). The plug (675) is attached to a telephone by attaching the flat plate (676) to the back side of the telephone. The neck length (677) can be any appropriate length selected by a person skilled in the art. Preferably, the neck is of sufficient length to extend beyond an outer end of the telephone. That plug, with the other plugs, may be attached with the fastener or buckle as described herein or with any other suitable device. The plugs and bolts mentioned above can be made of any suitable material, but are preferably made of metal, more preferably stainless steel. The plugs mentioned above can be joined by any appropriate partner, but are preferably attached to the fastener or buckle as described herein. A) Yes, any of the plugs described herein may fall within the definition of a "capture element" and / or "retention element". The capture elements and retention elements include other elements not described herein that an experienced person could select that are apt to be captured or retained in the capture zone or retention zone. A user who uses the fastener with the attached telephone or guides a plug as described herein can sit with the mobile phone buried at the user's side or damaging the clip. In addition, the mobile phone can be attached to the bra while a user is seated. Also as shown in Figure 7B, for example, the plug (401) is relatively thin compared to a typical fastener that is attached to the back side of the telephone. This reduces a profile that extends outside the phone when it is attached to the bra. As seen in FIGS. 6C 6F, the plug (401) allows the telephone (10) to hang at least partially under the fastener (300), thereby minimizing a profile extending outwardly of the telephone (10) when it is attached to the telephone. bra (300). Minimizing the profile that extends out from the phone with the fastener can reduce accidental damage when hitting or rubbing against objects. The plug can be attached to a telephone in such a way that a user can simply observe the phone in a correct orientation (that is, in such a way that the mesh or screen or numbers are oriented side up to read a screen or side screen) numbers and the like to lift and / or rotate the phone at any angle in relation to the fastener For example, the plug can be attached to the back side of the telephone bottom as shown in Figure 6F. , the phone can be observed without the need to disconnect the phone from the bra.It will be appreciated with the recent trends in mobile phones that there is an increase in SMS text messages or visual messages that are displayed visually. communication where audio, it is not necessary to place the adjacent phone in the user's head to communicate.In this situation, the phone's screen can be observed without removing the telephone from the bra of the invention. This is not only more convenient, it also reduces the risk of. drop or lose the phone in situations where the phone does not need to be held adjacent to the user's head. The ability to universally rotate the telephone in relation to the fastener in the described modes facilitates the observation of the telephone as it is attached to the user. This is an advantage over known fasteners that require the phone to be removed from a stored location, for example a belt. The universal telephone movement also allows the telephone to hang in a position such that an antenna is located far away from the user's body. The present invention, by allowing the telephone to rotate in such a way that the antenna is far away from the user's body reduces the exposure to radiation thereby reducing the SA (specific absorption speed). This reduces the potential health risks associated with exposure to SAR. Many phones commonly have an integrated antenna located on a back of the opposite phone on one side have a hearing aid and a microphone. If the phone is attached or using typical known fasteners that attach to the back side of the phone, the antenna faces the user's body. This unnecessarily exposing the user to an increased level of potentially harmful radiation can be avoided by using the present invention. In summary, the embodiments of the plug described in this invention when attached to the telephone allow the telephone to hang at least partially below the fastener, it provides rotation of the telephone, in such a way that the telephone can be observed as long as it is attached to the telephone and allows a telephone antenna to be located in the distance from the user's body. Figures 8A and 8B show how one embodiment of a fixed plug (402) is attached to a line element (150). An elongated opening (480) forms part of the plug (402) where the line element (150) is located. A crimp (481) is placed on the line element (150) and the crimp (481) and line element (150) are located within the opening. A screw (482) is tapered through the cap (402) and engages the crimp (481) to retain the crimp (481) in place.
